Tenkatori Miramar

Soso good, please come here to try if you like karaage or chicken in general. We ordered 1kg of boneless thighs and for 2 decently heavy eaters, this was a pretty good amount. The outer crisp was so crunchy and satisfying, and not heavy or overly oily like other fried chicken. Inside, the chicken was really juicy and tender, and it stayed hot for a long time. We tried their yuzu aioli and wasabi mayo and these were amazing!! The yuzu aioli was so refreshing and creamy, really fragrant of yuzu ugh soso good :')) The wasabi mayo was equally as good, and had the perfect punch from the wasabi,, wasn't overpowering at all and there was fresh wasabi in it as well which is a plus! Both of these sauces were really unique and something you can't find at other places (or at least from my experience)It took maybe 10-15 minutes for our chicken but much worth bc it was so fresh and we were so happy for finding this spot, which is tucked in a quiet plaza. Very kind service, and everything is made fresh to orderWould recommend and def come back!

Food was fire here. Chicken was CRISPY, juicy, and flavorful. Each bite packed a punch. Sauce is a must get, otherwise your meal will be sad and dry. They do ask you what sauce you want, and preferably the spicy mayo is my sauce of pick.Service was cool, quick, and attentive. Shop is a bit small but enough space to get a bite and leave. I got the Karaage-don. Perfect serving size for 1 person. The pickled radish and ramen egg were a nice touch. Would absolutely come again and check out the other menu items.

This place is a gem tucked away in one of those Miramar complexes. We've gotten to go a couple times here and the food is always great. The chicken is always crispy and great. The service is always great as well. I love that they expanded their hours. Tip: call ahead to place order to avoid long wait.

Shoutout to Tenkatori for making some of the best chicken Karaage in SD! They are always made fresh to order and the chicken comes out nice and hot with a light, but crunchy coating! The bentos are incredibly filling and come with potato, rice, and a salad. You can't miss with their boneless thighs, but I've also had their wings which were delicious. Definitely order some of their sauce on the side (my go-to is the yuzu aioli)!

Tender and served hot and fresh, my family enjoyed this Japanese chicken joint. Even the fried rice was appreciated. I got their mix of wings and thigh with a small scoop of mashed potatoes that were quite perfect and a delicately shredded heap of crisp cabbage. I can recommend this. I washed everything down with a can of green tea.They have good fries too.Id suggest more comfortable seating for larger parties in order to improve our experience, because we had to push two high tables together, but service was nice and good was good sooo we were satisfied.

I have been recommended to eat here by some very close associates and i am glad i visited.I ordered the mix bento to try different parts of the chicken.Regardless of what piece you choose the technique of making a true kaarage can be found at this establishment. A true kaarage requires no lemon or Japanese "kewpie" mayo and this establishment has aced it.It was also warming to be able to speak Japanese which made the service welcoming, as the first bite of my kaarage took me back home to Kanagawa.

This is a review of the food as take out only. Even after a drive of 20 minutes, the karaage was still crispy! Crispy and fried, but didn't taste heavy/oily. They didn't give any dipping sauce with it but it didn't really need additional sauce. We got the boneless thighs and the chicken was juicy and tender under the crispy batter. We also got the fries and chicken (smaller cut up pieces). The fries didn't stay crispy and were a little soggy from the sweet and sour sauce on it that we got. Maybe it would've worked out better if we ate it in the restaurant.

Hands down the best, if not only, place to get QUALITY karaage in San Diego. I pretty much order the Karaage Don ($14.50) with a side of Yuzu Aioli (+$1) every other Friday for lunch. It's the ULTIMATE combo. Their karaage breading is light and crispy, not cakey and heavy like that other, for some reason, popular spot on Convoy. Not only does the Karaage Don come with a large helping of fried fresh, juicy chicken drizzled with their house teriyaki sauce, but it also includes a seasoned egg, pickled radish, a reasonable portion of rice and a small helping of spinach. The owners run a tight ship, are hardworking, and friendly. It is located in an unassuming, claustrophobic strip mall in Miramar, but I am somehow always able to find a spot in those tight areas without issue. It is truly the best from the rest!

parking: free & easy parking lot what we ordered:* sweet & spicy chicken thigh (5 piece + fries) (~$15 with tip): my favorite part was the batter. the chicken felt light and crispy, and their sauce was very mildly spicy. their fries are good too; they remind me of the ones at McDonald's * karaage bowl: my friend got this, and they said it was good * yuzu aioli: it sucks that you have to pay extra for sauce, but this dip is so good. the yuzu isn't overpowering and the creamy aioli goes well with the chicken. service: the person at the front was nice, and our food was served to us within 10-15 mins main takeaway: reasonable prices and good food. this place will satisfy your fried chicken craving!

Fantastic japanese food. Affordable. Friendly staff. Pictured: - Karaage & Fries w/ Yuzu sauce- Fried chicken & Fried cartilage- Bento box w rice. Recommend trying this place because although it was fried, I didn't get that heavy oily feeling after eating it! #cleanplateclub
